Is there a simple and easy way to get permissions to post photos? For a techno-cretin like myself...

You don't need any permission to post photos here. One easy way to do it is to use postimages.org

There is a step-by-step guide here:

If you scroll down, there is also a 60-second video demonstration.

I hope this helps.
